Todays quote
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun. - by Napoleon Hill

Today's verse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. - Matthew 7:25.

Exultation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To stand firm in times of plenty and ease is easy. However, to stand firm in the midst of adversity and afflictions requires strength, courage and an unwavering dependence upon God. To be able to smile and hold strong even when going through tumultuous storms is a true sign of maturity. We should aspire to graduate from cry-babies and into mature full-grown and dependable people who can stand for truth, no matter what popular opinion dictates. To be hit by a ferocious storm and still remain standing is evidence that you are ready to forge ahead no matter what comes your way. People who are focused and determined do not allow setbacks to discourage them. Rather, after the storm has receded, they shake the water off their clothes, wipe their eyes, and continue moving towards their objective. The progress may be slow, tortuous, and sometimes even unnoticeable - unless seen through the eyes of faith - but as sure as light breaks out at daybreak, they ultimately reach their object. - by Innocent Mwangi
